As groundwater is used as a source of drinking water, monitoring its quality is essential due to possible adverse effects on human health. Nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites, ammonia) within certain concentration limits are natural components of the nitrogen cycle. Due to anthropogenic activities, high concentrations of nitrogen compounds are released into groundwater. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemistry of groundwater in a suburban area in northeastern Romania, the sources of pollution with nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites, ammonium), and the non-carcinogenic risk to human health associated with consumption in different groups age (women, men, and children) in the investigated region. The results showed that the concentration of nitrogen compounds varies from 5.12 to 98.3 mg/L for nitrates, from 0.008 to 85.2 mg/L for ammonium, and from 0.001 to 1.12 mg/L for nitrites. The maximum admissible concentrations have been exceeding 25%, 40% and respectively 10% of the total analyzed samples Bivariate graphs and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used to identify potential sources of nitrate, nitrites, and ammonium pollution of groundwater in the study area. The non-carcinogenic risk assessment for water consumption showed a hazard index (HItotal) for nitrogen compounds in groundwater in the investigated region, which ranged from 0.037 to 2.856 for men, between 0.054 and 3.427 for women, respectively between 0.080 and 6.145, for children. Spatial distribution maps using the Inverse Distance Weighting technique presented the geographical areas with the probability of groundwater contamination with nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium and the areas that pose a risk to human health by consuming groundwater in the study area for the three groups: men, women and children.
